Hello...we can be friends. Add me!

How do I put the picture in here?

Maybe it's not the average type body that turns them off...maybe it's because you're calling them "chicks"... :-) All jokes aside, when I get my body back in shape, I think I will still listen to what the man has to say. After all, looks and bodies change.

I agree that you should give it time to work. I will tell you that I felt the same way you feel, very frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!! I will tell you what is working for me. I decided that I am going at this full-force. Not just eating right. Not just exercising. Not just counting calories. Not just choosing more physical ways to…

I track afterwards. If I track before, I never seem to eat what I said I was going to eat!

LOL!!! That's hilarious!

I really like that one!

That's funny stuff! Mine would start off the sentence with: "well...from my point of view..." (PS, I'm usually almost naked and my scale is a male.)

WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Don't distrust your family, LEARN TO TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS instead. Remember, it was your family who tried to warn you about her not ever talking to you at work, and about her not ever trying to pay for anything. I'm sure your instincts were going crazy when you lent her that money, but you ignored it just…

I agree too. There are too many things to consider. In truth, now days, who isn't a cheater? How many friends would we really have if we cut out all those who cheated? I'm not saying everybody is a cheater, but there are a whole lot of them out there, so, I say, live and let live. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie…

There is a guy at my gym who finds the heaviest weights he can find and then does squats with them while walking around the entire gym. He clearly cannot handle these weights, they are about as big as he is, but he tries sooo hard. One time, no joke, me and 3 other people were in the whirlpool, and a lady come to get in…

Tyler Perry's "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" when the cousin comes back to the church.

Wonderful! Keep up the great work!

I had just turned 40 a year ago when I started, and I wanted to let everyone know how fabulous I am going to be once I lose a little weight, like Janet Jackson when she turned 40 she was a fabulous40diva too! LOL!

If I were to go to jail, it would def be for stealing LOADS of money...hey, if I gotta go, I may as well enjoy life a little!

I like that one!

Ok, before I fell off the wagon, I was doing the Orlistat (Alli) and my doctor approved me doing so. I was doing pretty well, and what I found is that it really kept me in check! The horror stories are deeply exaggerated!!! The only time I had problems was once when I ate too much fattening food. (Shouldn't be doing that…

Thanks for the advice. I'll watch out for that. Going really slow in the beginning.

Are you doing this again in July? I missed this one.

Yes, I'm getting ready to start next week. I read all the side affects, did some research, and am following those instructions to the "T". Even those who oppose the drug state that you do well on the Alli plan if you follow the instructions carefully. I'll keep you updated.

Wow! Thanks everyone for the advice. First, let me say, the pain is in the knees. I can't walk up the stairs or do anything that requires me to bend the knees too much (including getting out of bed sometimes). And I should have let you know that the weights are 5 lb hand weights, not leg weights. But I really think that…

I am a cello and hourglass...and my huge stomach makes me look like a pregnant cello/hourglass! LOL! #STOMACHHASGOT2GO

Wonderful! Thanks for the tip!

These have really helped me too! Thanks to whoever gave the suggestion about making your own raisin bran.

I weigh myself on Monday too, after I wake up. I chose that day deliberately. If I know I have to weigh myself on Monday morning, it keeps me from having weekend binges.

Hello...I'll add you to my friends. We are both the same weight, although I am twice your age. My other friends are really supportive and you may benefit from that.

I haven't tried Zumba yet, but it looks like fun! I've heard a couple good things about it.
